Hi there,
Bought this frame new in 2003 and built it into a lightweight XC race bike. After many years I gave in to temptation and sold her to a drooling mate in 2009 when my wife gave the green light for a Stumpy FSR pro carbon so long as the S-Works funded part of it. At the time everyone wanted short/medium travel trail/marathon bikes and I was no different!
When my pal contacted me a few weeks ago to say he was considering selling the S-Works this to fund other projects I jumped at the chance!
I always remember this as being the most comfortable and lightweight hardtail Id ever owned.
Anyhow, going to build her into a 1 x 10 lightweight trailblazer using modern 10 speed SLX drivetrain. Pics below of how she is today after I begun the strip down. Will update as I go.
Hope you like it!
Andy
